PATENTEB M181 7 :91:
f Z5 7 g51 a 1/ /f INVENT OR OJARS MALDAVS A'I'TORNEYS DOUBLE DIAPHRAM CHECK VALVE This invention relates to valves, and in particular to a check valve used in a mixing operation for water and carbon dioxide, in a beverage vending machine, for instance.
It is a general object of the invention to provide a novel and improved check valve for mixing a pair of liquids, a pair of gases or a liquid and a gas.
More particularly, it is an object of the invention to provide a check valve adapted to prevent carbon dioxide under pressure, in a mixing system, from flowing back into the water supply.
Another object is to provide a vent means for action in the event of failure of a portion of the check means in the valve.
The object also include provision of a valve which is simple in structure, yet durable and dependable in use, and which is also easy of manufacture and assembly, as well as low in cost.
The invention will be explained hereinafter, in terms of the particular objective of mixing carbon dioxide and water, it being understood that other liquids or gases may be substituted; in appropriate cases, different materials of constructions may be substituted to be compatible with the liquid or gas.
. These and other objects, which will be apparent, are attained by the present invention, a preferred form of which is described in the following specification, as illustrated in the drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the mixing layout;
FIG. 2 is a partial, axial, sectional view through the check valve of the invention, in normal, closed position under back pressure of the C 7 FIG. Sis a view similar to FIG. 2 showing the pressurized waterovercoming the check valve, for normal, mixing flow;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2, showing the valve in checking position, under abnormal conditions leading to partial failure of the check means, and
FIG. 5 is a partial, axial, section view through the valve, taken on the staggered line 5-5 of FIG. 2.
Referring to the drawings by reference numerals and characters therein, in FIG. l'there is'shown a water supply pipeline 10, in which is inserted a pump 12, and a check valve 14. Beyond valve 14, the waterline terminates in a spray nozzle 15, extending into carbonator tank 16. Carbonated water is withdrawn through line 17, extending below liquid level 18, in tank 16, while carbon dioxide is admitted to the tank through line 1 9, above the liquid level. Thus there is communication between the carbon dioxide inlet 19, and the downstream side of valve 14. The liquid level 18, in tank 16 is controlled by a float switch 20, having float 22 within tank 16. As indicated schematically, the float switch 20, controls an electric circuit driving a motor for pump 12.
Referring to FIG. 2, the valve 14 is seen as comprising a main body 24, in the form ofa hollow, hexagonal nut, having a reduced, cylindrical end portion 26, with an axial, threaded bore 28, adapted for attachment to a section of pipe 30 in the line 10. For accommodating the other parts of the valve, the cup-shaped nut 24 has a main bore 32, with three,stepwise reduced bores in the mid portion, defining shoulders 34, 36 and 38. Seated on the innermost shoulder 38is a rubber diaphragm 40, having a series of apertures 42, arranged on a circular line. An insert plug 44, seated on a shoulder 36, makes sealing contact with a peripheral flange on diaphragm 40. On the upstream side, plug 44 has an axial boss 46, connected with a radial rib 48, the boss having an axial bore 50, communicating with a radial bore 52 in rib'48. Through an annular chamber 54, caused by the peripheral spacing of plug 44 from the interior wall of nut 24, the bore 52 vents to atmosphere through a radial bore 56 in the nut.
A circular rib 58, on the upstream faceof plug 44, extends outward as far as, or nearly'as far as, boss 46, and forms a seat for the peripheral flange or skirt of a second, rubber diaphragm 60, which is held in place by its nested position in the hollow of an internal, peripheral flange or skirt 62, on a fitting 64, having a taper 66, and a threaded portion 68, for retention of a section of flared tubing 70, in the line 10. Fitting 64 is held in place in the nut 24 by means of a split, retaining spring ring 71. Like diaphragm 40, the diaphragm 60 has a circular line of apertures 72, which are closed by contact with the bottom of the inner cup of fitting 64, but which are adapted to communicate with the annular space around boss 46, on the upstream side of plug 44. As seen in FIG. 5.1m communication is extended to a bore 74 in plug 44, located apart from the axis thereof, and this communication is continued through apertures 42 in diaphragm 40, to permit downstream flow of water to the mixing point.
In a practical application, the water pressure may be 180 p.s.i., and the opposed, CO, pressure may be from 70 to p.s.i. When the water pressure is reduced below that of the CO the valve parts are as shown in FIG. 2, wherein diaphragm 40 is pressed against the downstream surface of plug 44, thus closing off apertures 42, and effectively preventing movement of CO upstream in the water line. In this situation, the otherdiaphragm 60 is pressed against axial boss 46, thus preventing water movement from the waterline to axial bore 50.
FIG. 3 shows the situation wherein the water pressure exceeds the CO, pressure. Here the radially intermediate zone of diaphragm 60 is deformed downstream into the hollow within bead or rib 58, and, as shown by the arrows, the water passes through apertures 72 of diaphragm 60, through port 74 of plug 44, through apertures 42 of diaphragm 40, and thus into pipe 30 and on to the junction with the C0 FIG. 4 shows the situation wherein the CO pressure exceeds the water pressure, and check diaphragm 40 fails, as in the case wherein a particle of foreign matter 76, becomes lodged behind it, the gas pressure will first act upon diaphragm 60, sealing off the gas by pressure against fitting 64, and at the same time causing the center of the diaphragm to bulge in the upstream direction. This uncovers axial bore 50, and the gas is vented to atmosphere through this bore, passage 52 and port 56. This situation obtains in the event of leakage of CO past the check valve for any reason. I
It is seen that there has thus been provided a valve which while readily permitting water flow to a mixing junction, also provides a check valve which is readily responsive and certain in action, and which fails safe," by venting in the event of malfunction of the check means.
While a certain, preferred embodiment has been shown and described, various modifications will be apparent in the light of this disclosure, and the invention should not, therefore, be deemed as limited, except insofar as shall appear from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
